Show HN: Datagridxl2.js – Fast Excel-like data table library

DataGridXL is a free (and commercial) editable data table library written in ES6.

My goal is to develop the most performant & user-friendly spreadsheet-like data table out there:

- It has zero dependencies. You don’t need any framework to use DataGridXL. - It is lightweight (~250kb) and easy to use. It does not even require messing with CSS. - It has its own Virtual DOM implementation to prevent DOM errors. - Developer friendly. Supports all modern web browsers

Please take a look at the performance demo (https://www.datagridxl.com/demos/one-million-cells) to see the difference with other data grids out there. And let us know if you have any suggestions.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments!

I'm desperately searching for a way to replace old Handsontable (before they closed source), but the license here for DataGrid XL makes it impossible to easily bring into a large FOSS project.

Some ideas for licensing: dual license MIT and commercial. Feed advanced features and support into the commercial while keeping the MIT version fast, performant, extendable.

One of my use-cases is for offline use, and not via a web app installation -- only assets in an ordinary filesystem directory. Mega-components in single js files are a good step towards that.

Just, I'm not sure that users who stick to Excel despite a web app do so just because of Excel's interface... sometimes it is because it is much easier to work with files than with web sites. And sometimes the way to get to the web app is the thing destroying the UX (slowly responding servers, weird login processes, etc.)

My biggest question right now: What does integration of Datagridxl2 look like when operating with a Blazor Server app? Should I just expect some basic JS interop when building a wrapper for the component?
